Yet families and professionals increasingly call for an approach that both drives outcomes and recognizes the whole child within the context of family and interdisciplinary care. Intensive Collaborative Behavior Therapy (ICBT) aims to leverage the strengths—and acknowledge the limitations—of ABA, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and family participation to create an approach that is greater than the sum of its parts. Grounded in best available evidence, ICBT formalizes a model of collaboration that replaces silos and turf tension with curiosity, respect, and shared accountability.
